Who Gets Sleepy After Dinner?

Hubby and I are both sleevers. We tend to eat dinner a little on the late side. Pretty much what we are supposed to eat - three ounces or so protein and some kind of veggies.  After dinner I find it almost impossible to stay awake - like I just ate a thanksgiving dinner but I didn't. So I nap on the sofa for an hour or two while hubby  watches all his contrived sci-fi programs.  gotta admit I find the programs boring which may contribute to the snooze effect. Hubby thinks I am weird.    Anybody else do this?  Diane

My husband is a napper. I am not. You've reached goal and are maintaining (I assume) your weight. Nap whenever you want to!

I am like that if I took in a lot of sugar/carbs (>100g at a sitting). Normal dinner as described though, I am good to go.

Not just after dinner - after almost every meal.  Like you, my meals are VSG appropriate, and I don't remember being this sleepy after meals before surgery, even with all the carby and yucky fast-food things I used to eat. 

Luckily I'm in a position to nap for 20 minutes to an hour just about any time I want.  Old people rule, LOL!
